6 Bits and Pieces Vol.6, Number 4 APRIL 2015 Heavy Southeast Michigan Influence on MLA Annual Officer Election Southeast Michigan provides a rich tapestry of library types and sizes. It is also home to a number of emergent library leaders who have agreed to run and, if elected, serve as key officers for the Michigan Library Association. TLN will be represented in the marques heading office of the President, with both candidates currently public library directors in the cooperative. Bill Harmer, Chelsea District Library and Kathleen Zaenger, Howell Carnegie District Library face off as candidates for MLA President-Elect. Our ALA Councilor will be filled by Steve Bowers of the Detroit Area Library Network. Four of the six candidates vying for two Members-at-Large positions hail from Southeast Michigan or recently directed a library in the area. From the academic library side are candidates Megan Hartline, University of Michigan, and Jackie Wrosch, Eastern Michigan University. Former Suburban Library Cooperative member, Dale Parus is seeking your support as is TLN Director, Jim Pletz running as a first time candidate for MLA office. Vote early, support the candidates of your choice knowing the odds are heavily weighted that Southeast Michigan will have a very large presence and voice in your MLA for years to come. Voting opens April 14 and closes at 5:00 PM on April 27. TLN Value Added E Rate Filing Did you ever wish you had a license to print money? While we don t have that license at TLN, we have the next best thing. Our E rate specialist, Rick Rosekrans, has provided faithful processing of member library E rate forms which has produced in excess of $1,500,000 in reimbursement in the past few years. Not a bad rate of return for using TLN wide area network (WAN) services. Big or small, this is a gigantic return on the monies TLN member libraries contribute to the lifeblood of the cooperative. In addition, with the most recent bid response for the provision of WAN services organized by Angie Michelini in Shared Technology Services, member libraries can increase download speed at prices less than the lowest speed offered three years ago. In this age of rapid and massive file downloads by our patrons, the increased speed at reduced prices is just another example the value member libraries see as a return on their investment dollars. Your Personal Purchasing Agent TLN is securing three year price commitments from vendors of books, periodicals, data bases, audio visual and other allied library vendor services utilized by libraries statewide. The TLN purchasing agent is Jim Flury. Discounts Jim secures are published on the TLN web page. This is a unique, ongoing service TLN offers which is based upon the value of group purchases through our very own buyer representative. Watch for the FY 2016 to FY 2018 discount schedule to appear by late November.
